Sunny Leone is set to live up to her porn star status by stripping naked in her new Bollywood film.

The actress has become a household name after appearing on the fifth season of the India Big Brother show last year.

During her stint in the Bigg Boss house, the model was approached by filmmaker Mahesh Batt to star in his daughter Pooja Bhatt’s latest Bollywood flick.

Now a poster for the film, Jism 2, has been released showing a naked woman posing underneath a wet sheet, fuelling speculation that Leone will bare all in the movie.

Other suggestions that the woman in the seductive pose might be actress Bipasha Basu have been dismissed.

Pooja Bhatt has reportedly asked Canadian-born Leone to pose for a nude shoot for the opening scene of the film.

After leaving the Bigg Boss house, Leone was briefed on what the Bollywood role entailed and the nude scenes were explained.

Speaking after signing Leone up for the film role, Mahesh Bhatt told the Daily Bhaskar: “The contract is being readied. The modalities are being worked out quickly.

“Pooja and Sunny are on the same page."

Commenting on the nudity in the film, Pooja reportedly said in an interview: “There is no reason why any actress under the sun should be apprehensive about a sequel to Jism or a design as pathbreaking as this.
